I think the better metaphor might be patching a known day-zero exploit quickly instead of waiting for a full year test cycle (during which the full install-base is vulnerable).

I'm inclined to agree. The article's talk about "resonating" with the audience is wishy-washy, and seems far-fetched for accounting for a 20% decrease in sales. On the other hand, a UX design tenet is to test, not assume
